Béla Tarr has died, age 70.
If you love slow cinema (which I do), Tarr is really the benchmark. The Hungarian master has become a reference point with his meditative films that last for hours and hours. I’ve seen THE TURIN HORSE, WERCKMEISTER HARMONIES and – the best of them all – SATANTANGO at its whopping 7 hours and 30 minutes. It’s challenging, for sure, but also something to get positively lost in.
